Hello all.
I am an 18 year old male who used to be an offensive lineman for his highschool football team. I was 6 foot 3, 300 pounds. I was very fast for my size and lifted a lot of weight, however I did eventually realize after football was over how big and unhealthy I looked and was. I decided I would go on a diet, and about 6 months later I am now down to 230 lbs.
I have been getting back into weightlifting a lot lately and though I don't want to be a professional bodybuilder, I would really enjoy getting bigger and being a part of the forums.
My main concern right now is that after a lot of weightloss my stomache and a little bit of my chest has some extra skin. I would like to know if situps and getting bigger abs and chest might help in the stretching of the skin?
Thanks

Yes I do believe that would help, but it depends how much skin there is.

not sure about that but maybe
until than...try to have "huge" abs ... ya ...

I'm having the same problem as you, but it just takes time, i've noticed a considerable change over a 4 month period, so just wait for it. Working the abs wont really help. I have basically the same height/weight + weight change that you do. Just keep at it, and let the skin tighten... one person told me that tanning will help tighten the skin, though i havent had time to do much tanning. Good luck, and if you find anything that works well, please let me know.
